Harvey & Battey, P.A. | Criminal Defense in Beaufort, SC (h1)
Harvey & Battey, P.A. maintains offices at 1001 Craven Street, Beaufort, South Carolina 29902, and 1 Marianna Way, Building 1, Suite 200, Bluffton, South Carolina 29910, reachable at (843) 524-3109 or (843) 815-3900. The firm brings more than 100 years of combined courtroom experience to the Lowcountry, with criminal defense matters handled by attorney Austin M. Blake, who offers free initial consultations to prospective clients. Senior partner Colden R. Battey, Jr. sums up the firm’s approach directly: “We want to be your lawyers for life.”
The firm’s criminal defense practice covers DUI and DWI charges, drug offenses, assault, theft, and white-collar crimes, along with traffic violations, and its attorneys tailor representation to the severity of the charge, applying the same attention to a minor offense as to a complex felony case. That consistency is central to the firm’s philosophy, which emphasizes individualized case strategy and ongoing client communication rather than a standardized approach to defense.
Harvey & Battey’s standing in the South Carolina legal community is reflected in its 2025 AV Preeminent Attorney Award from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest peer-review rating available, which together with the firm’s century of combined trial experience underscores its reputation as an established defense practice in Beaufort and Bluffton.
